Abstract
A recirculation passageway for a turbine engine provides stall protection in a booster by directing high pressure airflow from a flow path of the booster to the passageway. The high pressure airflow loses energy and decreases in pressure while traveling through the passageway until re-entry into the booster flow path. The airflow recirculates in the passageway until the airflow is discharged through a high pressure compressor.
